Bev M. came up to our hizzy today to do the crushing one hundred mile Mulholland Century. William Mulholland was the mastermind behind the enormous task of providing Los Angeles with water in the early part of the twentieth century. After becoming a God to Angelinos, he quickly became a villain to those dependant on his projects. A little after midnight, his dam in the hills behind Valencia (San Francisquito) burst, sending several hundred thousand acre feet of water tearing through the slot canyon. It worked it's way through Valencia, Piru, Fillmore, Santa Clara, and on out to Ventura Harbor, taking untold hundreds of people with it. After this disaster (which was preventable thanks to early detection by the site manager), Mr. Mulholland began a slow degradation into isolation, poverty, and madness. He died penniless and alone after creating the greatest water project in the history of mankind.
After this century ride, with it's 13, 500 feet of vertical elevation, you would only wish to die as well. Bev started out with a fairly large group of riders, and was one of only a handfull to complete the entire course. Congrats to Bev for finishing (and very quickly) the Mulholland Century today! Great work girlie, we will miss ya at the Bonelli race tomorrow!
